Uncertain: I am sorry but I don't know the cause of your symptoms. However, it sounds like you are dreaming from the description.

Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without taking additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see your doctor and discuss if you may be depressed. Counter-intuitive as it may seem, exercise may help. Start with low intensity exercise such as walking and gradually increase the intensity as tolerated. Drink more water. Wish you good health!

Sleep Disorder: Have you had a physical exam by a Dr. to rule out illness, especially since you had Covid in March? If you are healthy you may wish to consult with a Clinical Psychologist about this to get help for issues you have that may be triggering these feelings that manifest in physical and emotional ways.
